JAKARTA - GoTo/Gojek and Grab will cut their platform commission for two-wheeled passenger transport services to 8% from July 1, Indonesia’s House of Representatives said in a June 23 release. The announcement followed talks at the DPR complex in Senayan, Jakarta, between Deputy Speaker Sufmi Dasco Ahmad and management from GoTo and Grab.
The change applies to Gojek’s GoRide and Grab’s GrabBike services. DPR said the companies made the statements during a joint press conference after discussions on commission rules for two-wheeled online transport, which drivers have repeatedly pushed to reduce.
The cut follows Presidential Regulation No. 27/2026 on the protection of online transportation workers. In a May 1 speech, President Prabowo Subianto said the regulation would provide accident protection, health insurance, and raise drivers’ revenue share from 80% to at least 92%.
“We support the efforts to continue increasing the prosperity of the drivers,” GoTo Vice President Director Catherine Hindra Sutjahyo said at the press conference, according to Reuters. Reuters said Sutjahyo and Grab Indonesia CEO Neneng Goenadi both confirmed that their companies would begin applying the 8% commission rate on July 1.
DPR quoted GoTo’s representative as saying Gojek Indonesia would implement the 8% commission for GoRide from that date. Goenadi said Grab Indonesia would apply the same rate to GrabBike, the company’s two-wheeled passenger transport service.
GoTo’s 2025 Sustainability Report says the group had more than 3 million registered driver-partners and more than 6.4 million merchants as of December 31, 2025.
In its first-quarter 2026 earnings release, GoTo said it had started providing eligible driver-partners with employment social security and national health insurance coverage from February 1, and had distributed about Rp100 billion in Eid holiday bonus payments to eligible driver-partners.
The announcement followed months of driver complaints over platform deductions and low earnings. Earlier in March, Jakarta users had complained about scarce motorcycle taxi drivers during Ramadan, with the Indonesian Online Drivers Union, or SPAI, linking the shortage to weak demand, rain, low delivery fees and the 20% commission cap.
